Italian gesture

Italy is a famous country that likes to use gestures. Watching the European Cup recently, I found that Italian players always like to use gestures when they speak or express their emotions.

Their favorite and most commonly used gesture is "pinching fingers", that is, fingers close together and fingertips facing up. In Italian, this gesture is called "Mano a borsa", and in English, it means "pinching fingers", "finger purse" or "pine cone hand". Italians use it to express various emotions, such as confusion, helplessness, disappointment, anger, incomprehension and so on.

So how do you keep an Italian from talking? It's simple. Tie his hands.
